Arkansas fishermen reel in hunting invitation

JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) - When a fisherman reels in a high-calibercatch, should he take up hunting? Two Arkansas fishermen will have to answer that question afterone of them hooked a shotgun while angling on a lake in northeastArkansas. Devin Sullivan and his stepfather were fishing on CraigheadForest Lake when Sullivan started to reel in what he thought was aturtle, only to find a Remington 870 shotgun snagged on the end ofthe line. The two men took the shotgun to a Jonesboro police station,where the gun has been taken as evidence, Detective Sgt. ToddNelson told Jonesboro television station KAIT. Its serial numberwill be checked to see if it has been reported stolen or involvedin any crimes. Nelson offered a lighthearted observation, saying it may havebeen thrown into the lake by "somebody that's mad at a spouseabout hunting too much."
